- Scott Tenorman Must Die (Season 5, Episode 4) The idea of adorable children at the center of an animated program loaded with black humor and graphic violence was the original selling point for "South Park."
- Make Love, Not Warcraft (Season 10, Episode 8) The eighth episode of season 10, kind of like "Good Times with Weapons" before it, melded the totally simplistic and absolutely distinctive animation of "South Park" with a style from an action genre that, to say the least, never could've originated with cardboard cutouts.
- The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers (Season 6, Episode 13) A more-or-less reverent satire of a film the writers know their target audience has largely seen and enjoyed doesn't sound like a potentially all-time great episode of "South Park" in a vacuum.
- Casa Bonita (Season 7, Episode 11) Thanks to factors too numerous to list here, even though its primary characters are all children, "South Park" can let them indulge in levels of depravity that its contemporaries cannot approach.

The final episode of South Park’s first season, “Cartman’s Mom Is a Dirty Slut” relishes the series’ trademark brand of offensive humor while still offering a surprisingly poignant storyabout belonging and abandonment. It focuses on Cartman’s efforts to identify his biological father, an endeavor that reveals his mother’s promiscuity and makes his goal that much more difficult to accomplish. All the while, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny gather footage of Cartman with a mind to submit it to ‘America’s...
IMDb Score: 8.6/10
South Park's work of simple though hilarious parodythat comes up trumps, “Cartman’s Incredible Gift” plays with mystery tropes and notions of psychic or gifted detectives in a twisted story focused squarely on Cartman’s maniacal ego. After Cartman sustains a head injury, he awakens in a hospital where he is able to convince a police officer that he has developed psychic abilities. With an active serial killer in the area, law enforcement brings Cartman to the crime scenes to solve the crimes....

A scorching indictment on The Passion of the Christ released as fanfare and fallout of the Mel Gibson film was reaching its zenith, “The Passion of the Jew” is a perfect example of South Park’s creative immediacy being its greatest strength. In the episode, Cartman tries to use the provocative film to inspire antisemitism and see a group rise up against the Jews. Meanwhile, Stan and Kenny, having seen The Passion of the Christ and hating it, track down Mel Gibson to demand a refund. Given The...

Season 14 saw South Park celebrate a monumental milestone with its 200th episode, an event the series creators honored with two of the most controversial and dangerous episodes aired in the history of television. The second of them, “201,” continues the two-episode arc as celebrities and the Ginger Separatist Movement try to force the people of South Park to hand over the prophet Muhammad. All the while, a team of religious figures arrives to spare the town from the attack of Mecha-Streisand....

The predecessor to “201” and, of course, the 200th episode of the series, “200” was a significant event for the series as it brought back many of the celebrities the series had mocked over its first 199 episodes. Led by Tom Cruise, a litany of Hollywood stars descend upon South Park to file a class action lawsuit against the town, however, they state that they will drop the suit if the people of South Park can facilitate a meeting between Cruise and the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Like “201,” t...

Brilliantly using Tron as a thematic and visual inspiration, “You Have 0 Friends” is a scorching criticism of the dangerous allure of social media that boasts a strong point without losing any of South Park’s trademark controversial irreverence. It follows Stan as he reluctantly joins Facebook only to find himself being literally sucked into the website. Meanwhile, Kyle struggles with a dilemma between preserving his own social status and showing kindness to a third-grader who has no friends....

Given that Cartman and Randy are two fan-favorite characters, it is no surprise that “Medicinal Fried Chicken” ranks so highly on IMDb as it features both characters at their hilarious best throughout. Cartman, appalled to learn that the town’s KFC has been replaced by a medicinal marijuana dispensary, becomes involved in an illegal food trade. Meanwhile, Randy gives himself testicular cancer so he can make use of the dispensary, a ploy that sees his testicles grow exponentially. Satirizing s...

Across South Park’s 26 seasons (and counting), some episodes have proven to be more timeless than others. One of the most enduring is “Breast Cancer Show Ever,” which sees Cartman getting his just deserts in an immensely satisfying fashion. While running with a hilarious, Cartman-focused storyline, it also contains references to such films as Snatch and There Will Be Blood. It transpires as Wendy Testaburger tries to raise awareness of breast cancer at school, only to be berated by Cartman ev...

Parker and Stone are no strangers to absurdist hilarity, but Season 12’s “Major Boobage” is something of a series highlight in their endeavor to be completely insane. A new craze develops among the kids of South Park linked to sniffing the urine of cats in order to experience a high. While Cartman tries to protect the neighborhood cats by hiding them in his attic, Kenny becomes addicted to the hallucinogenic effect the urine has as he experiences a world with a recurring motif of women’s brea...

A gem of South Park’s knack for pointed parody, “Night of the Living Homeless,” as the name would suggest, satirizes the issue of homelessness with a story inspired by zombie movies. The Season 11 episode sees South Park overrun by hordes of homeless people. As they mindlessly roam, a group of adults hides out on the roof of the community center. Meanwhile, the boys embark on a trek to learn more about the horde and how it can be stopped. As much as the spoof episode takes aim at the homeless...
